The Tomahawk birdscarer has it’s own internal electronic clock to control it’s daily start and stop times. This
clock is usually factory set to GMT so before you can use the birdscarer it needs to be reset to your local
time zone. For this purpose you use the START control, STOP control, BST/GMT switch and the Reset
button which is located on the underside of the Control Module almost directly below the STANDBY
LED. This Reset Button can be accessed from the lower left hand corner of the Control Module, this
access can be made easier if the Control Module mounting screws are either loosened or removed entirely
. Use the START control as if it were the hour hand on a clock but set it exactly to the hour. Use the STOP
control as if it were the minute hand of a clock but set it to the nearest five minutes. Use the
BST/GMT(SUM/WIN) switch to set the clock to p.m. or a.m.. Use the following procedure:-
a. If the current time is a.m. (morning) then switch the BST/GMT(SUM/WIN) switch to GMT(WIN) or if
it is p.m. (afternoon/evening) then switch it to BST(SUM).
b. Turn the START control to the current hour, e.g. if it is 5:47 then turn it to the 5 position.
c. Turn the STOP control to the current nearest five minute graduation, e.g. if it is 5.47 then turn it to
the 9 position as if it were the minute hand.
Now hold in the Reset button, switch the Control Module ON and wait for the green and yellow LEDs
to start flashing alternately. Release the Reset button and switch the Control Module OFF again.
The internal electronic clock is now set to the current time and will keep this time even when the
12-Volt battery is disconnected. Occasionally environmental conditions such as electric storms or
static charges can corrupt the internal clock, in this event the clock can be reset using the above
procedure.
Just got ours out to get going and i cant stop the three lights going through there sequencene ie , tried resetting and setting the clock and switching off but lights keep flashing , thanks
Not wishing to be unhelpful, but I had a couple, if you mean the Tanton ones, and found them to be terrible unreliable things. I wouldn't spend anything on tittivating them, anyway.
